Composite And Porcelain Tooth Veneers

Dental veneers also identified as porcelain veneers or composite veneers are thin shells of tooth-colored, transparent porcelain or composite resin, customized to fit over teeth and get better their color, figure and overall appearance. Positioning a dental veneer can significantly improve your smile and look. 'Veneers' or 'laminates' are used in dental terminology for covering the front side of tooth for cosmetic enhancement. Putting in place of dental veneers is referred to as "instant orthodontics" because they can be used to solve a variety of dental troubles involving teeth in the "smile zone" including spaces between the teeth, scantily shaped or curved teeth, broken or chipped teeth, permanently externally or internally stained teeth, hideous or stained fillings.

Composite & porcelain tooth veneers are almost painless procedure. The dentist removes only the smallest amounts of natural tooth structure before fixing the veneers. The veneers are strong and durable and the color should remain unstained. A resin filling is used when only a small measure of the tooth needs replacing or repair or a full crown sometimes is used if there is a root canal treatment or if all the enamel is lost. Then the dentist takes an impression of the tooth to make an exact model.

Patient can go through a period of adjustment as he/she gets used to the "new" teeth that have been changed in size and shape within 1-2 weeks. Patient can carry brushing and flossing on daily, as usual. It is advised to patients that they must revisit to their dentist clinic after 1-2 weeks. Ultimately veneers provide a wonderful full mouth smile.
